There were two adults and one child in the vehicle when it crashed. All three were checked out by emergency personnel from Sacred Cross Emergency Services but declined to be transported to the hospital.

Emergency crews from the Breckenridge Fire Department and the Stephens County Sheriff’s Department also responded to accident.
